Gallant = brave and/or heroic.
Who couldn’t use something brave and heroic on their hands? These striking fingerless mitts lift spirits with their bold and beautiful geometric patterns! Knit in the round, they feature ribbed cuffs, a gusseted thumb, and bold color work motifs on the palm and back of the hand. The stranded color work creates a super cozy double-layered fabric via the floats that are carried along the inside of the piece. Worked in a 100% alpaca yarn, you’ve got the ultimate in softness, warmth, and wearability! Pair with Dauntless hat, Daring open crown hat, and/or Valiant headband for a cozy matching set!
